More generally, Nick Cox has had several articles in the Stata
Journal, and many posts on this list, concerning the graphing of
distributions. You might be interested in having a look at
http://www.stata-journal.com/article.html?article=gr0003
and
http://www.stata-journal.com/article.html?article=gr0012
to name a few. These two articles are available free of charge.
